I KNOW IT'S NOT THE SAME BUT THE END OF S7 E12 REMINDS ME SO MUCH OF CRUCIBLE.

I'm just gonna tag you in all of them
Let me explain.
So in the crucible, there is Abilgial, John protector, and Elizabath protector.
Abigail is one of the girls who accuse other people of witchcraft as well as (what I believe) her uncle being a respected member of the church. (you only need to know this to understand some authority she had in the situation)
Abigail is having an affair with John protector to the point she believes Protector will leave his wife for her. To the point, she accuses Elizabeth of witchcraft. John is then given the perfect opportunity to leave Elizabeth for Abigail. He tells Abigail no. She flips the fuck out and accuses him of witchcraft and then he chooses to die before accusing anyone else of witchcraft.
(quick little summary of those 3 characters' relationship just in case people don't know it)
NOW.
Abigail would be Sonya, Fi would be Elizabeth and John would be Michael.
Elizabeth does not believe in witchcraft at all. She thinks it's such a foolish thing these girls are going on about. She is also aware her husband is having an affair but there is very little she can do about it. Other than waiting for him to choose the right thing.
Fiona is doing that at this very moment as her life is on the line waiting for Michael to make the right decision. She refuses to fall into the mindset of Michael and Sonya. She will die first.
Abigail is a girl influenced by her passion. In the story that's her love for protector. Now. I don't think Sonya is motivated by her love of MIchael, as much as the position she and MIchael could be in. Which is something Abigail brings up a lot. Abigail and Protector were both respected members of their community.
John. Which would be Michael. Has done wrong. He had an affair with Abigail. He sided with James and Sonya. But when push comes to shove he chooses his family. He did not fall into the belief that would be the easier thing to do. It would be easier to let Abigail accuse his wife of witchcraft and then marry her. It would have been easier for Sonya to kill Fi and run the org with her.
now in the crucible, John protector dies compared to Sonya. but still. but still. they both chose their families.
Now I don't know if it was intentional. But it reminded me of it so much that I wanted to talk about it.
The Crucible is one of my favorite works. It was written during the Red Scare. After writing it Author Morgan was not allowed back in the country for a couple of years. I really like Author Morgan's works in general. Loved the crucible.
